Additional Information

Part number 918-04322A replaces 618-04322A and 918-04322. This drive shaft assembly transfers power to the snowblower's wheels or tracks, enabling forward and reverse movement during operation.

If your snowblower won t move or struggles to propel itself, the drive shaft may be worn, damaged, or stripped. Replacing it can restore drive power and improve traction in snowy conditions.

Disconnect the spark plug before beginning any repairs. Use a socket set and torque wrench to remove the old assembly and install the new one according to the service manual. Wear gloves to protect your hands while handling mechanical parts and hardware.
